Three Chinese firms, BYD, Chery and JAC, plan on releasing these next-generation sodium-ion cars for public sale later this year.

Downside of sodium batteries is shorter range of 200 to 300 kilometres compared to 300 and 500 for lithium batteries. That’s perfect for people whose main journeys are to work or school or to nearby towns, but who don’t make road trips across the country.

Hello peoples! I have a bit of a problem and hope you can help me with it.

I have an old Dell Latitude E6320 who worked greatly until yesterday. Since then, he seems to fail at POST. (Not sure, since he just show a splash-screen with a big "DELL" logo, under which is written "Latitude E6320" and the version of its UEFI. (Wrongfully called BIOS by the computer.)

If I try to access the BIOS, all or part of the screen turn black. (The non-black part, when there is one, still show the corresponding portion of the UEFI's boot-screen.)

To me it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem, more like a corruption of the UEFI itself. (Don't ask me how that's possible when I didn't even try to flash it, I have no idea.)

I would like to know if it's possible to compile CoreBoot or any of its derivate for it (and then flash it) or, failing that, if there is a way to try and change its UEFI config from a separate computer, in case it was just a corruption of some of the UEFI's parameters rather than the UEFI itself.

Hope someone will be able to help save that laptop, I would hate to trow away a good computer, perfectly suiting my needs.
